Description

This article is from the Secure Sockets Layer Discussion List FAQ, by Shannon Appel SAppel@consensus.com with numerous contributions by others.

2.1) What is the current version of the SSL protocol?

The current version is SSL 3.0, as documented at
<http://home.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/index.html>

Errata to the SSL 3.0 Specification is periodically posted on
the SSL discussion list, and is available at
<http://home.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/ssl-errata.html>

Netscape has submitted SSL 3.0 to the IETF-TLS Working Group
as an Internet Draft (see the section 4.5 of this FAQ for more
info on TLS). This will be TLS 1.0:
<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/
draft-ietf-tls-protocol-05.txt>

The previous version of SSL, version 2.0 is documented at
<http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/SSL_old.html>
